Fun facts: Realtor, Investor, Mom

Julie Hutchison is a Realtor in Austin, Texas who runs Hutchison Property Group, brokered by eXp Realty. She has closed 118 transactions totaling $45.2 million and holds a 5.0 rating across 48 Google reviews. Julie was an investor before she was an agent. She spent 18 years at Northrop Grumman in IT and management, including four years leading a data science organization. She left corporate work to invest in real estate full time, closing roughly two dozen deals across flips, rentals, and wholesale in her first year. She was licensed in Texas in 2021, after she already understood how a deal comes together from the ownership side. When a client asks whether a house is a good deal, Julie answers as someone who has owned, renovated, rented, and sold property in this market, not as someone reading comps off a screen. Hutchison Property Group is a single-agent practice on purpose. Every client works with Julie, not with an assistant or a junior agent carrying her name. Three groups make up most of her business. Relocation clients moving to Austin from out of state for work. Austin is not one market. It is a dozen very different ones across several counties and school districts, with tax rates that vary by jurisdiction and can move a payment more than the interest rate does.
